Mother’s Day is around the corner and we’re all thinking about ways to celebrate. Whether it’s hosting at the house or finding the perfect presents, we share ideas and gifts for mom.
FOREVER FLORALS: HOST BRUNCH AT HOME
Whether you want to avoid the crowds or just have a more intimate celebration, hosting brunch at home is a great way to honor mom. Balsam Hill is our go-to for realistic florals from garlands to arrangements, wreaths to pot fillers.
All moms love flowers, but with Balsam Hill artificial arrangements like Jane, Blue Viola or Coral Garden, she can have stunning details and the splendor of Spring year round. Tulips, Hydrangeas and other florals used as pot fillers are beautiful ways to line the front porch or key areas of mom’s yard.
A great way to make mom feel special is to have brunch at home with Provence Rose collection adding warmth to any tablescape with cottage roses in varying shades of pink on lush green eucalyptus leaves. The perfect garland to run down the center with wreath and hanging basket or potted flowers too.
The French Market Floral Foliage is always a hit as it bring hints of Paris home highlighting the romance and the Spring with it’s floral market look. Anything you select from Balsam Hill, mom is sure to love!
BEAUTY: SPA DAY EVERY DAY
Elevate mom’s skincare routine, sculpt on the go and give mom access to facials at home. Every mom wants to look good, and capture youth through the latest tech. NuFACE is a great gift option for Mother’s Day. We love the Trinity+ smart device, which sculpts the face and neck, smooths lines, lifts brows and makes your cheekbones pop in minutes. It is clinically proven to tone and contour your face and neck – and has FDA clearance. The Trinity+ can be paired with NuFACE’s smart app for guided treatments and even a selfie tracker for progress!
Better yet, be inspired by other local moms that deliver professional quality at home so every day feels like an afternoon at the spa. We love that CEO + Cofounder Tera Peterson has pioneered microcurrents for 30+ years. She launched NuFACE in 2005 alongside her esthetician mother and sister.
SHOWCASE MOM’S STYLE
A memorable scent, a statement handbag or tropical pajamas, Macy’s has a variety of styles and prints that are perfect for mom. Fashions always top a list and for those with younger kids, this is the best time of year for twinning so Mommy and me outfits are a must.
Macy’s has curated an entire Mother’s Day Gift Ideas section of their website. From the new mom, to the mom that has everything, grandmas and so many other personalities reflected, this gift guide has you covered. Plus Macy’s breaks it down not only by type of mom, but by category and also price range so you’re guaranteed to find the right present whether you on a budget and trying to save, or ready to spoil mom and splurge!
OH BABY! FIRST TIME MOTHERS
Can’t forget mother’s celebrating the day for the first time with new eyes… whether pregnant or just welcomed home a bundle of joy, shower mom with everything she needs for her and baby. Lotions, oils, bath bombs and even spf products, all safe and healthy for families. We first discovered Tubby Todd when our little one had eczema and we couldn’t find anything that worked. Someone suggested Tubby Todd’s All Over ointment and it helped his eczema. This all-star formula is pediatrician and dermatologist-tested.
Whether it is their products for mom or baby, Tubby Todd has an entire line for the family made with clean ingredients. They are formulated to be gentle enough for newborns, yet effective enough for the whole family to use – including the adults! Created with sensitive-skinned babes in mind, each product works hard to nourish, hydrate, and condition skin from head to toe. We also love that Tubby Todd is based in Carlsbad, CA and was founded in 2014 by husband and wife duo Brian Williams and Andrea Faulkner Williams as a gentle solution for their family’s sensitive skin.
